Working with more than one object can result in a stunning project. The next tutorial shows you
how to coordinate two objects. Make a second object appear after the first one completes its
action.
To show and hide two objects :
1 Insert an object, then set the total number
of frames to 30.
2 At frame 1 click Move Object on the
Location Toolbar and set the Y coordinate
to 50.
3 Click Rotate Object. The Properties Menu
displays Orientation. On the Location
Toolbar, make sure that all coordinates are
set to 0.
4 Move the Timeline Control slider to frame
25 or enter 25 as the current frame. Click
Add Key Frame.
5 Set the X coordinate to -720, then click Play
to preview the animation.
6 Insert a new object. At frame 1, click Move
Object. Enter -100 for the Y coordinate on
the Location Toolbar.
7 At frame 1, click Show/Hide on the
Standard Toolbar to make the object
disappear.
8 At frame 30, add a key frame and click
Show/Hide to make the text object appear.
9 Click Play. The second object should appear
just after the first object has completed its
rotation.
